NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- The murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is still shaking up the United States, with the shooting leading to new calls of lowering the political temperature.

On this edition of Up Close, we talk to two members of Congress on different sides of the aisle, with different politics: Republican Mike Lawler of New York and Democrat Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey.

They may not agree on what to have for lunch, but they listen to each other, and they say they are still willing and wanting to work together.

Most importantly, they want the hate to stop.

Also joining us on this episode is our political team.

Up Close airs Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
